Chapter 264 fourth quarter

"The embankment of City D is in danger." The acting mayor who is the commander-in-chief of flood control in City D is a young cadre in his thirties. Standing on the embankment amidst the wind and rain, he is still receiving fluids, and he said to the officers in front of him with a serious face. "I just served as acting mayor three days before you came here. The former secretary of the municipal party committee and mayor was arrested for accepting bribes during the flood wall project. The flood control embankment in city D is actually a tofu project. You can't hide this You guys. The flood wall has problems such as cutting corners and improperly handling the wall foundation. In the wall of the flood wall, the main steel bar is not as thick as a little finger, and the design steel bar is required to be 16 mm in diameter. After the collapsed flood wall hits the sunken ship on the shore, the design label is The reinforced concrete of 200 meters cracked, and some fragments like bean curd residue were scattered on the bow of the ship. According to my field observation, the bottom of the embankment is not concrete, and some places are filled with bamboo chips and straw.”

He Zhijun took a breath, and turned his gaze to the torrential water: "It's too late to say anything now. The profiteers and corrupt officials who make the country rich will be severely punished, but our mission is to keep this flood levee that is already riddled with holes, and keep D city!" The acting mayor nodded: "With your People's Liberation Army coming up, I feel more at ease." "Immediately send a report to the front finger of the military region—the situation is critical, and send reinforcements!" He Zhijun ordered, "Send the engineering regiment here as well, bring large machinery, and start construction here immediately! The Special Brigade and the Boat Bridge Brigade are at the A line of defense, take strict precautions!"

Lei Keming observed the river with a telescope: "Order the frogman to go into the water, find the current loopholes in the flood wall and find a way to fill them up as soon as possible." The radio soldier picked up the microphone: "Attention all units, this is Blue Arrow B. The mountain wolf immediately organized the frogmen to launch into the water to detect hidden dangers in the flood wall. Repeat, the mountain wolf immediately organized the frogmen to launch into the water. It's over." "Mountain Wolf received it, and it will go into the water in five minutes. It's over."

Chen Yong returned the earphones and microphones to the radio soldiers, and began to undress himself: "Ten soldiers with good water skills from each company will go into the water with me to investigate hidden dangers in the flood wall." "You can't go down!" Zhang Lei shouted, "You are the battalion commander, you have your command post!" "Follow my order." Chen Yong took the diving suit handed over by the secretary. Zhang Lei grabbed Chen Yong very close to his ear: "Listen, I'll take someone down——Zijun is pregnant, I don't want you to become a martyr too!"

Chen Yong was taken aback, Zhang Lei had already snatched his diving suit: "Remember my words!" "I'm Captain Frogman!" Zhang Lei's eyes were black and white in the heavy rain, and he yelled at the soldiers with a stern expression, "Ten fighters from each company will launch in separate areas! Search by segment, and make sure to fill in the loopholes! " Thirty soldiers put on diving suits, carried oxygen cylinders on their backs, put on masks and flippers.Rope was tied around their waists, and they stood at equal distances apart on the flood wall.Zhang Lei put on a mask and grabbed the oxygen bottle, waved his hand and raised his thumb.

Zhang Lei jumped into the river with a splash, and thirty soldiers also jumped into the river. Standing on the flood control wall in the rain, Chen Yong looked grim: "Organize the second rescue team and be ready to save people at any time!" Lin Rui had already put on his diving suit and stood beside him: "I will lead the second rescue team." Chen Yong looked at the busy soldiers on the embankment: "Swear to live and die with the embankment!" "Swear to live and die with the levee!" Amid the shouts of the soldiers, the red flag of the "special brigade" fluttered in the rain.

The city behind them is already full of lights. The soldiers of the Engineer Corps have already pulled the machinery and vehicles up on their shoulders and started to strengthen and heighten the flood wall. The flood flow on the broad river surface is very large, and waves are still hitting the fragile flood walls. Zhang Lei got out of the water and stepped on the water: "There is a spring below! This section of the flood wall is not allowed!" Lei Keming looked at it carefully with the map, and looked back at the city of thousands of lights: "This levee cannot collapse! All mobile forces are on the levee, and we will die on the levee!"

Even the ambulance team went up the embankment, and He Xiaoyu ran in the mud carrying sandbags, falling down and getting up from time to time.The military uniform on her body was already soaked and covered with mud, and the trouser legs were stuck to her calves, and there were patches of brown, but it was hard to find it mixed with the mud. Liu Xiaofei yelled to direct his company, and he saw He Xiaoyu running over to take the sandbag from her body: "Why are you here? Hurry down!" "It has nothing to do with you, I am from the flood fighting force of Army Group A!" He Xiaoyu shouted and grabbed the sandbag again.

Just as Liu Xiaofei was about to say something, Chen Yong shouted over there, and he hurried over. The head of the hydrological station stared at the water, and suddenly shouted at He Zhijun: "Chief, you can't stay here anymore! Withdraw your troops immediately!" "Why?!" He Zhijun asked loudly. "There will be a breach here soon!" The head of the hydrological station shouted, holding up a flashlight to shine on the muddy water surface, "The bubble spring has eaten through the bottom, hurry up!" "We can't withdraw!" Chen Yong shouted, "We will die on the embankment!"

"This is a meaningless sacrifice!" The head of the hydrological station shouted at the acting mayor, "We must evacuate immediately, and preserve our vitality to block the breach!" The acting mayor frowned: "The Prime Minister has a strict order - the Yangtze River levee collapses, and the lives of people will be lost!" "This is not your head alone!" The head of the hydrological station shouted, "All the soldiers and civilians who stay here will be buried with them! Immediately evacuate the 100-meter embankment, we cannot sacrifice needlessly!"

Lei Keming watched Jiang Shui carefully, and pulled He Zhijun back: "Get out, we can't let the soldiers sacrifice with us needlessly!" The acting mayor gritted his teeth: "My head doesn't matter, I can't let these soldiers and these people be buried with me! Minister He, let's withdraw!" "Withdraw!" Feeling ashamed, He Zhijun yelled angrily. The red flag of the "special brigade" was pulled down and retreated to one side, and the soldiers and the masses withdrew to both sides of the dangerous area.The old hydrological station chief stood in the middle and shouted, and the armed police pulled out the cordon. With a "boom", the flood water hit the flood control wall.A 3-meter gap broke out in the middle, and almost instantly, the flood water with a drop of 8 meters from the outside of the levee poured out. 9 meters... 10 m…… 20 meters... 30 meters... The breach was like the bloody mouth of the flood, swallowing several enterprises including the shipyard in D city in a blink of an eye, overflowing the railway culvert, and submerging the large and small vehicles parked on the side of the road in an instant.The unscrupulous flood rushed straight to the city ahead.
